Luke Rainbird Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I'm still surprised at quite how phenomenal the standard Avid Rim Wranglers perform on a smooth rim. The only time they weren't seriously sweet was in heavy rain, which made everything else slippy and unpleasant to ride in before it was a major issue anyway. Solid bite, great hold, and best of all they were silent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrialsMan Dan Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 how do you get a grind to last longer? im grinding my rim once a month every month, and ive had my new wheels only 4 months they were a bit expensive so id like to get a good lifetime out of them. Im using a new disc when grinding, i try get a light/medium sharp grind and i hardly ever drag my brake, am i just riding too often? or is it my technique?
